Hello friends and fellow activists. My name is Maria Estrada. I am an activist, a mother and a grandmother. I'm not a politician, I don't have aspirations to be a lifelong politician, but I am tired.

Tired of the status quo, the decline in our standard of living, the decline in our environment and our education system, and I am really tired of the politicians who have allowed our situation to worsen.

I am running in AD63 to represent the people in that district, and to remove the Speaker of the Assembly of California who has failed the 63rd and the people in California for denying us single payer healthcare.

We need someone who represents us, not corporate interests and the companies who are poisoning our communities. If given the opportunity I will fight for you as a mother, a grandmother, and as a Mexicana.

“As a Lynwood resident and Commissioner I gladly and excitedly endorse Maria for Assembly because our community deserves REAL representation from someone that’s like us and understands our quotidian experiences. Maria will fight for single-payer healthcare and against corporations that pollute our air for profit, unlike Rendon. Rendon is woefully out of touch and it doesn’t take statistical research to find out how unrecognized he is in Lynwood (and other parts of the district). To make matters worse he moved his district office which was more accessible to the greater part of his district to a tower in Lakewood (whose major tenant is Chase). I encourage everyone to vote for Maria Estrada this Nov. 6th.”

“Just heard her on the Jimmy Dore show. I lived in Boyle heights for a long time. Boyle heights just like Lakewood and all the neighboring cities really need to do something about the damn smell and led poisoning. Among other things I feel that finally someone is speaking and representing the actual people that live in these poorer and toxified areas of Los Angeles.”

“I support Maria Estrada because the rest of the leadership is corporate crazy and well you know she is not.
¡¡¡Maria Para La Gente!!!”

“Corporate Democrats are just as dangerous to society as Republicans. We need to take big money out of politics.”

“Anthony Rendon does NOT represent the working people of California. He has done everything he can to block single-payer health care and his constituents are the wealthy and corporate interests. Maria Estrada will help her constituents--people like you and me, working people, activists, people who care about human dignity and civil rights.”

“We need Maria Estrada in the legislature because she actually notices that people are suffering and need relief. She will work for her constituents. Rendon is apparently unconcerned when it comes to people’s needs. Assembly persons are paid by the public to address the problems of the people and work for solutions. That seems to be rare with two corporate parties dominating our political landscape. Time to change the system...one office at a time. Start with electing Estrada to represent the people and give Rendon the boot out for his unapologetic negligence.”

“Crush Rendon, get us the healthcare that we deserve.”

“I support my sister Maria "Lolis" Estrada because of her passion for fighting the good fight. She is in this for the community. She will fight to have our voices heard in Sacramento. Love you sister.”

“I support Maria Estrada because she represents the people/ la gente and will ensure proper health care for California. Her opponent Anthony Rendon works against the will of the people and refuses to give #SinglePayer to the people of California because his donors control him. A vote for Maria Estrada is a vote to protect Californians against the oligarchs!”

Wow! Who would have thought with a handful of volunteers, some home printed flyers and lots of door knocking we would be here! I am so grateful to everyone for their help and support.

Now that we made it through the primary we will need all hands on deck. We have a great phone banking app that is super easy to use, we are hosting canvassing events throughout the district from now until the primary and we have a great group of volunteers. What we are lacking are funds for basic campaign necessities. Any and all donations are very much appreciated and with your help we can do this!

We are at a critical point in California. We are at a moment of too much misguided energy. We have become too enamored with political personas and not paid attention to how they serve the people. What they do (or not do) affects our children, our communities, and our lives.
I'm running for state assembly in the 63rd because we can do better.
We have become complacent and allowed the game of politics to affect our communities in an adverse way for far too long. I am running to change that.
For me, this is not a game. I refuse to accept this is the best we can do. I refuse to accept that we have to live in a poisoned environment, where the air we breathe and the water we drink makes us sick. I refuse to believe that we can't have healthcare for everyone in this state. I refuse to believe that a corporation in my neighborhood has the right to poison my people. I refuse to accept that our local governments can get away with selling out regular working families. I refuse to believe that the people of the 63rd District have to settle for all that they've endured for decades. We deserve better.
Today I am asking for your support to fight for the people of the 63rd District and the state of California. We have a week to raise the money needed for filing fees and campaign statements. Please donate what you can to get us to the next step.

“I first saw you on Jimmy Dore and was impressed with your passion and determination to fight for your community, justice and policies that will make people's lives better. I endorse you.”

“She's fighting for SB 562 and against the completely corrupt democratic party in California.”

“I support Maria Estrada for state assembly member because I want to be heard and acknowledged and I know Maria is the one to speak unapologetic truth and drill down hardon those who misuse their position in politics. #TeamEstrada”

“Maria Estrada (D) for assembly is the people's champion and a Healthcare as a Human Right advocate and activist, with the courage to take on the CPOS incumbent despite his millions of oily greasy filthy dollars, the sellout to the criminally corrupt insurance crime syndicate and big phrma lobbies.
GO Maria!!! We love you!
(And to the incumbent: u better run, you scurrilous creep, we are coming for you! Resign now and go run to your predictable multi milllon dollar lobbying gig. Stop your fraudulent lies, pretending to represent constituents of AD63. It is clear that THEY are not who YOU serve.)”

“I endorse Maria because we need representation that we can depend on and that won't throw us under the bus. Maria is throwing the establishment under that bus for us!”

“Maria is everything we want in a candidate. Thank you for stepping up to the plate
Maria!”

“she’s bout it”

“I support Maria Estrada, because we need a fighter who doesn’t take any corporate money, and can help get #SB562 freed so the people of California can finally get the Healthcare For All they deserve.”

“I support Maria Estrada because she doesn't just talk progressive, but walks it. She has been an activist fighting for the people and we need leaders like Maria in Sacramento to champion legislation that genuinely serves the needs of the people.”
